Hi,
I stumbled on your website during a search. I have a question concerning Chocolate. I have a co-worker that brings me Hershey Kisses every morning. I don’t eat them right away, so, when I finally decided to eat a few, to my surprise, there were little brown gnat type bugs that had burrowed through the kiss!!!!!!!!!!! One co-worker had the entire Hershey Kiss gone including the almond! It did leave the shell however! HELP. We just want to know what they are! Thanks!

Hi Pamela,
Certain types of Pantry Beetles will eat chocolate, burrowing through the candy leaving the shell intact.
I like This
What's That Bug? does not endorse extermination
if you find a pantry beetle in a piece of chocolate, is the chocolate still safe to eat?
We do not have the necessary scientific qualification to answer safety questions.
How do u get rid of them?
Same! i just ate a hershey kiss and bugs were in it! i ate 3!! I’m honestly disgusted but i want to know will it harm me?
Have found bugs in my individually wrapped Hersheys candy. Are they harmsul??? Think I will return them to Walmart!
